Tell us about your love story...

"Robbie and I met at work 8 years ago. We instantly connected over our love of music, and the rest is history. I called one of my best friends after our first date and told her that I knew I was going to marry him. Six years later, he popped the question whilst on holiday in Greece. We are best friends, we support each other through the challenges that life continues to throw at us, and we are each other's biggest fans. Robbie makes me feel like the most loved human being in the world."

Why did you choose our lovely MERCIER gown?

I chose the MERCIER dress, the dreamiest 4-in-1 gown! I had tried over 30 dresses on and was ready to just settle for any, until I tried MERCIER. I fell completely in love, I was speechless when I walked out of the dressing room towards my Mum and Mother-in-Law, my jaw felt like it was touching the floor. This dress was more than I could have ever dreamed of. The intricate lace detail and the beauty of her versatility was just breathtaking. Thank you for creating the dress of my dreams, something that I felt had been made just for me! Please can you make re-wearing your wedding dress a trend so that I can wear it over and over again?

What was the most memorable part of your wedding?

"The moment that my Mum walked me down the aisle, I remember fighting every feeling in my body that wanted to run to the end of that aisle and squeeze my husband-to-be! The feeling of overwhelming love that hits you as you take those steps is a feeling that I will never forget. All topped off by being greeted by Robbie, who was beaming with happiness, my heart exploded there and then."

Any advice to other brides?

"Relax, try and take it all in, do not let small things stress you out - all that really matters is you marrying the love of your life.
Really look around at everyone in attendance and think about how much they mean to you. It will probably be the only time all those people are in the same room. Take in how much you love your significant other and how amazing you feel at that very moment. Married life has its challenges, and you'll need to draw on that feeling from time to time."
